Kerry: Bush uses 9/11 as ‘political pawn’

Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blasted the Bush administration for war and homeland security policies that he said leave Americans more vulnerable to attack.

Kerry’s remarks came in a Faneuil Hall speech on the eve of tomorrow’s five-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

In his fourth speech this year at the venue, Kerry accused the administration of using the tragedy that killed about 3,000 Americans to justify the war in Iraq.

“It is immoral to treat 9/11 as a political pawn (to) excuse the invasion of Iraq,” Kerry said. “They were attacked and killed not by Saddam Hussein but by Osama bin Laden.”

Kerry, who is likely prepping for another presidential run, urged Democrats to “redeploy from Iraq, recommit to Afghanistan, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, reinforce our homeland defense and restore America’s moral leadership in the world.” Kerry also laid out the strategy in a Boston Herald Op-Ed column yesterday.

He called the London terror plot to blow up trans-Atlantic airplanes - thwarted last month - an example of the need to bolster the focus on Afghanistan.

“The Bush-Cheney administration (has) cut and run even as we learn (the plan’s mastermind) was an al-Qaeda leader operating from Afghanistan,” Kerry said. “That’s right - the same killers who attacked us on 9/11 are still plotting attacks against America, and they’re still holed up in Afghanistan.”

He also accused Republicans of playing politics with Homeland Security funding by decreasing funds for “states that need it most - which happens to be ‘blue’ states,” while increasing it in “the ‘red’ states that need it least.”

KERRY = A lifelong Terrorist sympathizer bent on ending the United States of America.

Plane, by attacking Plane.

SULLIVAN was still correct in warning KERRY about Logan Aiport.
But incorrect in his not first knowning who his enemy really was.

For to win at War,

...one must first KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

These "people" won't let the President just govern....everything to them is political.

We elected George W. Bush, not you...you weenie.....We want governance and leadership, not a frenchie poodle pushover.

Go back to Mass....they can have you....

Actually, Gore has toooooo much money tied up in Google!

He is now worth a minimum $30mil. Maybe $80m or more.

Gore is out as a candidate. Playmaker, but not a candidate.
